Welcome to the March 2010 Pam Golding Property Group Newsletter

Further positive signs that the residential property sector continues on its upswing come from two important economic indicators, the SA Reserve Bank Leading Business Cycle and the FNB Building Confidence Index.

The Reserve Bank indicator in February continued to show an acceleration in its growth rate, which bodes well for the residential mortgage market as it tends to show that new mortgage loan grants are increasing.

The indicator has a strong focus on the manufacturing sector which has shown some improvement as a result of global economic recovery and a need to re-stock.

Positive economic growth in SA is expected this year, possibly as much as 3%, which will be a wonderful confidence stimulus considering that the country only emerged from recession last October.

FNB’s building confidence index measures the confidence of all the major role players in the building industry including architects, quantity surveyors, contractors, sub-contractors, retail merchants and manufacturers of building materials.
